   I just explained why you are on this (vsnet-chat) list.  The list
vsnet-campaign-v4641sgr started on 2002 May 20.  The earliest observations
we received from you were on May 15, with which we were asked for a proper
way of reporting the observations.

   We have received virtually nothing from other subscribers after your
posting.  Possibly their troubles were the past ones?
We usually make (properly requested) unsubscriptions for simple information
receivers, but in some contradicting cases (e.g. the same person is
posting messages and requesting for unsubscription at the same time),
we don't instantaneously apply to unsubscriptions.  There are also exceptions
in that some lists for announcements (such as vsnet-announce) can not be
unsubscribed.

   Anyone on VSNET can post a message to vsnet-complaints.  Those who are
interested in complaints can naturally subscribe to this list.  In VSNET,
list-related matters are not a central issue for vsnet-chat, which is more
designed for science.  We maintain a special list for such issues, and people
are warmly advised to use the list (not vsnet-chat) if there are more to say
about list-related matters.
